Early flight simulators used film projectors and optical tricks to re-create the experience of piloting fighter jets on pre-programmed “missions.” To achieve believable acceleration, banking, and turning, the Air Force needed a projector that could stop on a dime and change speeds on the fly. Our high-speed projector was the first of its kind, capable of starting and stopping 5,000 times per minute with frame-perfect accuracy – making it the perfect match for training pilots, and eventually astronauts, sea captains and mine operators as well.
